Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC)

When oil spills occur many are left to wonder how it happened. This training video explains how oil leaks and spills can happen as well as the measures to take to prevent them.

Since many spills happen during the transportation of oil, the techniques to use while transporting are discussed. One of the techniques is chocking the truck's wheels. This prevents the truck from moving while the oil is being transported.

High level alarms or pump tank devices are available to monitor the levels of oil or oil materials to make sure there is no overfilling in the secondary containment structure. The driver and attendant should know the different signals of the alarms. The types of alarms and tests the oil workers should know are explained in great detail in this online training.

In addition to checking alarms, safety plays a huge factor in monitoring the oil facility sites. The video highlights the importance of workers and their roles to actively secure and monitor oil facilities. Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) protocol is used when adhering to safety measures at oil sites. Following SPCC protocol is imperative when responding to an oil discharge as well. Each facility has a different SPCC protocol when it comes to handling or transporting oil. The video discusses the importance of following the protocol during operation as well with response time.

Use this course to teach employees oil spill prevention techniques, improving safety for your workplace and the environment.
